Friendly reminder: This article is purely a personal point of view, I don’t like it.
Recently, a big Shuang film has burst into popularity and its box office has soared. At present, it has exceeded 700 million in China. The protagonist and heroine have become many people's new male goddess due to their high looks. This movie is to make DC stand up. The promising "Aquaman" , but the dazzling special effects and overwhelming hormones, is it really enough?
There are too many super-British movies. From DC to Marvel, from Superbat to Fulian, the cool superheroes certainly make people excited, but what I want to see more than heroes is: how heroes become heroes.
Of course, this is not only about being infected by radiation, being transformed, parasitic, or piling up awesome equipment with money. Having extraordinary abilities does not mean becoming a superhero. They are sometimes aware of the responsibilities behind the abilities, and sometimes they are righteous. Reflecting on whether or not, sometimes even if you have to face your own weaknesses, you still decide to move forward courageously.
Every hero, only at the moment when they decide to become a hero, really makes people's hearts excited. Unfortunately, "Aquaman" does not.
Sea King Arthur has been an invincible posture since his debut . The audience just kept following him to unlock the map to complete the task and get the equipment. To put it bluntly, this is just an upgrade of combat power, not an inner awakening and explosion , so When he raised the trident, there was no wave in my heart.
What's more, the process of obtaining the trident is so watery that people have nothing to say-forcibly to persuade Karasen, and get the artifact from King Yate without any effort. Karason’s explanation was: “The first one who can communicate with me is King At, and the second is you.”
Arthur is the "chosen son of heaven", which is of course irrefutable, but it is also a means too chicken thieves. Why can he communicate with marine life? Why can he pick up the trident? Why is he more suitable to be king than Aum? It's all because he is the chosen son of heaven, or, as a hybrid, he "can be a bridge between the two worlds" , but the film does not give a reasonable enough explanation to show how he plays a bridge role .
In fact, as a mixed race, identity should be a quagmire in the character's heart. In other words, only such struggles and choices are the key to making the character full. When little Arthur was in the aquarium with his classmates, it could be seen that he was a "heterogeneous" squeezed out by human society. It was in this case that when the marine creatures gathered behind him, it was felt. Shock.
However, entering the feature film, the adult Arthur has no such identity barrier at all , no entanglement in making a choice between the two worlds, and the confrontation and contradiction between Atlantis and human society has not formed a point of conflict in him. , So much so that in Arthur's heart, we can't get a glimpse of one or two.
Superman from Krypton, Wonder Woman from Amazon, Thor from God’s Domain, all come from the "different world", but they all chose to fight for mankind—because they love mankind and this world, then Neptune , And why are you fighting? I think every superhero, if it is not for the faith in the heart, it is difficult to make people empathize .
Therefore, in the process of watching "Aquaman", even though there is overwhelming sensory stimulation, it is difficult to have emotional fluctuations, because you can't see Arthur's heart, his weakness, pain, struggle, and choices... In short, Can't see all the "human" side of him.
The cliché of the plot may be the consensus of most people. After all, the last time I saw a similar plot in a super-English movie was "Black Panther". Atlantis corresponds to Wakanda, and the Seven Great Nations corresponds to the five tribes. The same is half. The blood brothers came back to pick things up, and the two Kings' challenges were also lost and won once.
But even in the underwater world that is praised by mouth, it is difficult for me to feel amazing, because they are only reduced to gorgeous background spectacles , good-looking but useless-just like whether they ride a seahorse or a shark, they will fight in the end. It is rampant in the water, without distinction.
Of course, Wen Ziren is really adept at controlling genre films, and he is very good at mirror transition scheduling. It is just that he has had an eye addiction, but it is difficult to ignore the lack of emotion, because in the final analysis,
Even if Thanos snapped his fingers to turn Aquaman into gray, I wouldn't frown.
